Whoa. Guess we're down to less than bi-annual updates around here. Much going on though. the Poet will be re-released on June 24th for digital download on several download sites such as iTunes, Amazon and Napster. Thus, it is no longer available for free download here at Sigcell.com. Sorry, a band has to eat. Rehearsals are going on for prep to record the new record which will surprise and feature Sam Keenan on drums! The great Jesse Stahl has returned on bass! Set for release in the fall. Neat.

It could be that new players are involved in Sigcell. It could be that these new players will begin rehearsing soon. It could be that these rehearsals will result in live shows. It could be that these live shows will be awesome. It could be that awesome is all you need.

Oh. Wait for it. Could it be? I'm actually going to update this old and disfunctional site?! Could be sooner than later whilst I wait on my aching thumb and insurance company to send me money to buy a guitar with.

Had a couple of shows over the last few months and now I think I'm ready to actually advertise that they are happening. June 6th Sigcell will be at Uptown Bar along with TV Crush in which I will be playing sax. That is a fun group to play in. Complete improve. No rehearsals. Vastly different from Sigcell. I will be lucky enough to have Jesse Stahl joining me once again on bass for Sigcell's set!
New songs are coming together nicely and old songs are finding a new existance. The show is FREE and won't run too late for those of you with a mind to sleep.
See you there. Thank you for being here. And thanks for listening.
Peter.

Another phase has come and gone and Sigcell has returned to a solo status. A return to the stage is imminent along with new arrangments of old songs, new songs and a rotating cast of guest musicians. See you soon.
Peter.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Varsity Theater on Thursday. We had an amazing time. We want to give an extra thanks to Joseph for the last minute improvised video he did for the show. For those of you lucky enough to have seen it, all the video except during the first song was unplanned spontaneous creativity. We will be back at the Varsity Theater in July for a couple of happy hour shows on the 6th and 13th. Until then...thank you for listening and thanks for being here.

the Poet is now available at all MN Cheapo stores. We will be playing at Nomad on the 19th of May with Blitzen and St. Vitas w/TV Crush. New songs, new sounds, new samples. Can't wait to see you. Thanks for listening and thank you for being here.

Small update to the site today. You can now listen to a couple of tracks off the Poet on the Album page. We have begun work on some new songs and will hopefully be back out on stage sometime soon. the Poet will be available at local Cheapo stores in a couple weeks. In the meantime if you would like to order a copy please send a request to sales@sigcell.com. Thank you for being here and thanks for listening.

A big thanks to Misplaced Music for featuring us and selling the new record during the month of January. Between Misplaced Music Radio and new MPR station The Current we have two great resources for great music in this city. Do what you can to support them both!
Thank you for being here. We will see you soon.

Well we couldn't break too many more deadlines now could we. Yes, the record is done and officially released today. It is available at Misplaced Music (misplacedmusic.org) and of course at all our shows. The official cd release party will be at the Dinkytowner Cafe on Saturday, January 15th. The evening is a Misplaced Music showcase and will be streamed live on Misplaced Music Radio. We will be joined by Jesse Lukes and Mel Gibson and the Pants. All the money from the door charge of $5 will go to support Misplaced Music. Show starts at 6:30pm and goes until 10pm. Get there before 7pm and get in free. We hope to see you there. Thank you for being here.

Mixing of the first record is going very well and is sounding as we had hoped. Watch for a couple sample clips of unfinished tracks to be posted soon on the new album page. October is shaping up to be the month for the independent release. After a year of recording and missed deadlines this date is a very good bet. We will see you soon!

Recording is nearing completion and we will spend the next month or so mixing and doing the final mastering. The release could come as soon as September, but in learning from our projection inacuracies let's say October. This fall we will also be getting back to the stage.
Hopefully we will get around to finishing this site as well. Thank you for being here.

Once again our own deadline for completing the first record has come and gone. We promise, though, it is getting very close. Check back for some sample clips on the album page in the coming weeks. No performances are currently scheduled. We will get back out towards the end of summer with the release of the album.

We are back up and running. However, we decided to re-launch early so the site is not quite finished. Continue to check back as we continue to add the remaining content.
